Publication number: 20080051260Abstract: A non-impact exercise device comprising a framework, resistance assembly, and a pivoting assembly. The pivoting assembly contains a pair of link arms pivotally coupled to a pair of foot support members. The link arms have handles for the user to grip and the foot support members have foot platforms for the user to stand upon. The foot platforms have a wheel attached to them and the wheel rests upon curved or arced ramps of the exercise device. The user exercises by putting force into the device through the handles and/or foot platforms. This causes the foot platforms to roll along the ramps while the user is standing upon the foot platforms. The user may readily vary the length and frequency of the reciprocating stride.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2007Publication date: February 28, 2008Applicant: ICON IP, INC.Inventors: Roy Simonson, William Dalebout, Jaremy Butler

Publication number: 20060063653Abstract: An exercise device includes an inflatable bladder and is partially stabilized with a small amount of filler. The bladder includes a first aperture to allow the filler to be easily placed in the bladder. The bladder also includes a valve main body that allows air to be easily injected into the bladder to inflate the bladder. In an exemplary method the filler is forced into the inflatable bladder using a mixture of air and filler. The air is under pressure and assists in forcing the filler into the bladder. After a proper amount of filler is in the bladder, the bladder can be deflated for packaging and/or shipping.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2005Publication date: March 23, 2006Inventors: Krista Wickens, Jaremy Butler, Donald Standing

Publication number: 20050079961Abstract: A weight lifting system includes: (i) a handle; (ii) a plurality of weights; and (iii) first and second locking mechanisms that couple a respective weight to the handle. The locking mechanisms each include a cam assembly that selectively engages threads on an interior surface of the handle. The cam assembly includes (i) a threaded cam rotatably coupled to a sleeve that extends into the handle; and (ii) a push rod configured to selectively move the cam between a locked position and an unlocked position within the handle. Twisting the cam in one direction tightens the threads of the cam against the threads of the handle. Twisting the cam in an opposing direction threads the locking mechanism out of the handle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2003Publication date: April 14, 2005Inventors: William Dalebout, Jaremy Butler
